Juki DX/F Series Common User Errors!

[@denisecapley7088]

Wow - did not know how easy it is to replace a needle threader! Appreciate all the tutorials you have done. Continuing to learn so much. Thank you!

[@joycedowling4266]

Thank you 1000 times I never owned a Juki and your tips helped immensely. I have 2 other machines but was making mistakes on this that I leave at my sons for when I visit Thank you again

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :)

[@merrymacmurphy]

I just got this machine and the more I see your videos the more I am happy that I got it. I plan to order some of the Glide thread too. thank you!

[@JukiJunkies]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@cjtalbot1]

The bobbin case info & the switch for straight stitch were great info that i didnt know before. Thank u!

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@VRUAN]

Only F400 has this feature. F300 does not have the jellybean switch.

[@roycewoods9219]

Great video David. I see a lot of people asking on Facebook why their machine won’t do a zigzag stitch. Very common problem, thanks for covering it. Now I can just refer people to your KZbin video.

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you Royce! I hope you have been doing well :) -David

[@amysandifer9421]

Didn’t know about the jelly bean hole and the ability to change to single hole!! Love you guys!

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching. I am glad we could help. -HD

[@marji4508]

Great video. Please keep adding more user error videos. Maybe even a live chat with questions from users. Such as….when I use Glide thread with spool cap as shown it will often spool off and wrap around the thread spool holder. Usually occurs with new full spool. Again thank you.

[@susanroberts6828]

I have the same problem!

[@LocalGirlinUT]

Awesome Video, Thank you! I just got a notification from UPS that my brand NEW DX 2000 QVP will be delivered today, so this was the perfect tutorial for me to watch in preparation of setting up my new machine. I'm so excited to get my new Juki! Funny thing is, while you were giving the information on needle punctures to the bobbin plate, I was thinking, "you need to clean out that fuzz on the left" LoL. Had you not explained that is meant to be there, I would have definitely cleaned it up!

[@JukiJunkies]

Hahah thank you for sharing! I hope you enjoy your DX2000

[@sharonduddleston4061]

Thanks for the tips! I have a DX7 and always wondered about the fuzzies under the plate & luckily never removed them. I was wondering why my machine sometimes doesn’t respond to pressing the reverse button if I hesitate at the end of stitching a seam?

[@allysonrandel7588]

I did not know the purpose of the fuzzies! Great video! I have a DX-4000 and I love the content y'all post about it! Thanks!

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@ellencr5995]

Thanks! I love watching these videos! So helpful. I'm going to check my bobbin case for damage! And the reminder to use the right spool caps! I never thread my bobbin thread through the hole--definitely going to try that! I'd love to see an "advanced" users guide--how to get the most out of my DX7!

[@JukiJunkies]

You're very welcome :) I like that idea -David

Knew the fuzzies needed to be there, wasn't entirely sure why. So now I know. Learnt a couple of other interesting points as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@JukiJunkies]

No problem :)

[@MsKentta]

Thanks for all the pointers to help us new operators, new to computerized but love my DX7

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@luannesiliamaa4034]

Thanks for the tips. I never knew about that the spool cap size could affect stitching.

Our pleasure!

[@kellietrudel8222]

This was excellent! Thanks for the heads up about the straight stitch sensor! Maybe next one you can do on programming the pedal???

[@JukiJunkies]

Good idea :)

[@LauraVance-bu2fr]

Great Video! Thank you so much for this! I have the dx2000 qvp and so far I love it! Wish I had known about you before buying my machines!

[@esperanzapeters6144]

thank you, your instruction. I found the visuals very helpful. You were very concise and explained clearly how to solve the potential problems.

[@JukiJunkies]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!

[@charabranam4151]

Thank you for the great video!! My favorite part was winding the bobbin. I have been wrapping the thread around. I am going to try your method!!

[@JukiJunkies]

You're very welcome :) -David

[@patriciasmith1571]

The needle threader error information was very helpful. I saved the video for reference! Thank you

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@TGBTGAlways]

The BEST tip was to switch the lever back from the straight stitch mode before removing the plate! Will not doing that cause the machine to not switch from straight stitch to zigzag when I choose #4 on the DX5???

[@MarySears]

Great information, thank you for the Jelly Bean Mode when taking off the plate!

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@PatMillerick-wu3op]

Great video, I have the dx2000, the problem I had the most was threading the bobbin. Works great now. Thank you.

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@wendyhail81]

Good to know about the jelly bean vs straight stitch when removing the stitch plate!

[@JukiJunkies]

Great tips for sure. Glad you learned something new :) -David

[@michelles3605]

loved the tip about needle sizes...didn't know the size 75 can't be uses with the needle threader....Thanks for this video

[@judypappoff2677]

Great pointers! I usually use the jelly bean mode, did not know it must be in that mode when taking the plate off! Thank you!

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@debshane4509]

I love these tutorials and would love to see one on setting the back stitch at the beginning and the end with the door pedal. Actually all of the settings possible with the foot pedal would be great!

[@JukiJunkies]

Great ideas :) Check this one out kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6XSfqlud7GdhZI

[@susanroberts6828]

Great video with good information. I have a DX7 and have had to replace the needle threader once. I wonder if I was trying to thread a needle that was too small?

[@JukiJunkies]

Possibly :)

[@janicew13]

thanks for the video - very clear - I do have a question - I was sewing fine and stopped. When I started again it didn't bring up the bobbin thread so got "birds nest underneath" - not sure why it isn't bringing up the bobbin thread _ I now have to do manually

[@JukiJunkies]

Take stitch plate off and clean

[@jbrowne3066]

Can the ‘fuzzy strips’ be replaced? Mine are fairly worn.

[@JukiJunkies]

Nope

[@terrynieves6484]

80/20 I just learn about using my needle threader 😊 good information. Thank you.

[@terrynieves6484]

TL 1800 and DX2000 owner

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@ottocipra6562]

I like knowing the smallest needle to use. I liked the more bobbin adjustment, and I knowing that the jellybean switch needs to be in jellybean mode to remove the stitch plate.

[@gailssimpson]

It was so interesting and useful to know how to change the foot plate from jelly bean mode to straight stitch and back again, I never knew this. Thank you

[@JukiJunkies]

You're very welcome :) -David

[@deloresrast8543]

Just got a new Juki 2010 TL - I Love it!!!!

[@ladybuggrandma7940]

I love my DX7. Great Video. I did not know what the fuzzies were for. Also my threader is messed up. I may have to purchase a replacement. Thank you for your informative videos. I use my Tl2000 for straight stitching so I probably won’t change from the jelly bean mode 😊.

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@margaretjames5401]

Thanks, extremely useful for new Juki owners. Can you confirm the best way to remove misguided thread around the bobbin winder. My thread went wild when filling a bobbin and it was very difficult to remove.

[@JukiJunkies]

Best way is tweezers and a cutter.

[@eleanorrieth458]

Thank you for explaining how easy the change from jelly bean to straight is.

[@JukiJunkies]

@@eleanorrieth458 no problem:)

[@donnasdigressions]

Interesting information about the needle size, I was not aware of that. Thank you.

[@JukiJunkies]

You're very welcome :) -David

Thank you so much for this video, I learned so many really good tips. I love my machine.

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@formommakes3923]

Wow! Saving this video to review each time before I use my dx2000. I never knew that about the needle threader and size of needle and thread!!! I will definitely be paying more attention. Is this true for the Juki tl2200qvp? Wonder if that is why my needle threader on that machine isn't working😥

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) Yes this applies to the TL too -David

[@barbvallet7659]

You mentioned a video on adjusting the arm for bobbin winding. I've looked for a link but can't find it. Please post a link. Thank you.

This is a very helpful video! I look forward to more🙂

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching - David

[@Traeonna]

I'm reading a lot of reviews for the Juki HZL-DX5 that talk about LOWER PRESSER FOOT errors. Is this a common issue and if so, how does one deal with that?

[@JukiJunkies]

Never heard of it...

[@JukiJunkies]

If you have that issue contact your dealer to have them check i out.

[@bonniemorrill5700]

Do you have any trouble shooting videos on the DX7 machine?

[@sherrilamb7472]

I was cleaning my machine and unscrewed that white plastic piece and the metal piece underneath it fell out. I thought I was putting it back correctly but now my machine won’t cut the thread, it bunches the thread up. Please help me. Also, that little fuzzy piece feel out and I didn’t know where to put it back. From another video it said you want it but it’s okay if it comes out.

[@wendymcmullen8407]

thank you all the great information, I always learn something, today especially about the straight stitch option

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@christineschnell1532]

Love my Juki QVP and this was very informative. I learned a lot! Thanks so much.

[@wendellwiggins1675]

I just purchased a Jukie F300 and have a problem with bird nesting at the beginning of a seam after using the automatic thread anchor tool

[@doreen4852]

Where do I purchase the 2 fuzzy parts that are in the DX2000QVP

[@JukiJunkies]

You cant they don't sell them

Thanks for such a great video. Good 2 know about the needle size. 😊👍🏼

Plz make a video on gear replacement if not rotating the bobbin hook case thnks

[@alinaoldham6591]

Hi, I am trying to monogram something on my Juki dx5 and after one try, if I want to repeat the words sequence I get a lower your presser foot message. Not sure how to fix that other than turn off my machine, RE enter my sentence then do it again …can someone help?

[@dawnweinbender7418]

Best tip was the needle size for using the threader! I didn't know that 75/11 is too small!

[@JukiJunkies]

Glad that helped :) -David

[@teresashaw9815]

I prefer 75/11 needles. Can I really not use the needle threader on the DX7 machine? Haven't ordered yet. Hope this isn't a deal breaker for me.

[@JukiJunkies]

You can its just going to be used with very fine thread. The needle whole size is very small on smaller needles making the allowances small when using different threads.

[@laurasemerano6207]

Great video David!!

[@JukiJunkies]

You're very welcome :) -David

[@williamhelfrich5126]

I have a Juki HZL-DX that the needle in reverse does not work and the needle up down does not work when I push the needle in reverse button I can here a click but it does not work any help would be great thanks Pam

[@JukiJunkies]

How old is the machine? If its not more than 5 years old contact your dealer to file a warranty if its older bring it into our shop or a authorized service center to help fix :)

[@lucettetano818]

When winding my bobbins, the bobbins stops before it’s full, multiple times just like it’s done but it’s not… do you know why it does that ? Also I put the thread through the hook after step 3 and before step 4 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@JukiJunkies]

You can adjust it with the little Phillips head screw on the bobbin winder.

[@lucettetano818]

@@JukiJunkies it didn’t stop because of the bobbin winder going back like if it was full, it would just stop in the middle of the process and I had to switch it off and on again But turns out it was the little hook all along ! Seems to work out fine this time !

[@doreen4852]

I have the dx2000 and the TL, the only machines that I love.

[@michaelpacheco3263]

Nice info here. Like watching these videos

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@westbourne7034]

Hi just come across your great videos. Is there a way to see how many stitches a machine has done? I ask as someone is selling a used JUKI HZL-NX7 and was interested in purchasing . Thanks

[@JukiJunkies]

You can on the NX7 settings

[@westbourne7034]

Thanks, do any of your videos show that and what would be considered a high stitch count for the machine?

[@conniel.4601]

I’ve had a DX2000 for a few years, love it. I appreciate your tips.

[@JukiJunkies]

Great to hear!

[@DipsyDoodleDaisy]

Thank you ♥️

No problem!!

[@vickityler5469]

Great video! I spent hours on the jelly bean issue! My on/off switch is stuck on. Any suggestions or a replacement switch? I am in Utah!

[@JukiJunkies]

order a new plate :) Or bring to your local Juki dealer to be checked out.

[@jennyking5620]

Best tip for me was putting the thread through the hole in the bobbin before winding the bobbin. It creates such a nicely wound bobbin.

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you!

[@melaniebarker1125]

Thank you for this tutorial. I just my DX7 and haven’t even turned it on yet so these are going to be very helpful.

[@JukiJunkies]

Yay enjoy your new machine

[@ceccles8135]

Including the comments about the needle penetrating the bobbin case was useful. I had that happen today for the first time while I was doing an overcasting stitch. The needle went through and broke off midway. I'd never seen that before. I still don't know what I did wrong to cause that. I've been using the machine a lot recently - it might need better cleaning than I can do at home.

[@barbnelson1397]

Thank you.

[@JukiJunkies]

You're very welcome :) -David

[@CRGL1]

Jelly Bean mode? Cool

[@BeePrayerFull]

Very helpful!

[@barbaraensor2316]

Did not know about the switch when changing to single hole.

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :) -David

[@zawan4360]

Exlcllent explanation ❤❤❤

[@betseykuzia8477]

Good summary of things we should know…..

[@VRUAN]

Adjust the timing of the needle rod...if the tip of the bobbin hook is below the needle hole, adjust the rod to let the tip of the bobbin hook just at 1/16 mm above the needle hole. Adjust the bobbin shaft if the tip of the the bobbin hook goes beyond the needle hole. These are the cause of the problem of skipping stitches or even not catch the bobbin thread.

[@deborahwilson2857]

Those fresh bobbin cases are pricey!

[@lindahutchings5394]

Why is it so hard to get going on my juki? I feel so intimated because it is a fantastic machine 😊

[@JukiJunkies]

Don’t fear! Just jump in after a few videos

[@jmjcc5]

The jellybean tip.

[@donnamcsorley6777]

I removed a fuzzie thinking it was fluff!

[@JukiJunkies]

oh no

[@oliviaprior369]

What do you do if you have removed one of the fuzzies? I just bought my machine and had a tangle of thread and did not realize that it needed to be by the bobbin case :( @@JukiJunkies

[@AnastasiaV1310]

Oh. I, i have accidentally removed one of my fuzzies! Can they be replaced?! Now I know why I get birds nests on my work 😱

[@mindyhartford8939]

You said absolutely nothing about the computerized part. I bought a brand new machine and the computer does not work or change stitches whatsoever that would be a Juki error and not a user error. Correct?

[@illawarriorhill70]

Pedicure is for feet. Hands have manicures.

[@JukiJunkies]

HAHA ooops you can tell i don't get manicures hahha

[@Jin04115]

Bobbin cases should be metal.

[@JukiJunkies]

Not on computerized machines :)
